To Let Go

3 min read

I feel a pull towards letting go

Letting go of how I think I should be

How I think others want to see me

What if letting go means being more embodied?

Closer to the soul, connected in my body

Opening new doors to creation and manifestation

What if letting go means detaching from the inner voices

That tell me I must be this way to be loved and worthy?

What if letting go means opening my heart

To the gentle inner compass inside of me?

And so, maybe one day, I will know,

But until then, maybe it is time to let go.

On detaching from expectations and embracing the unexpected

I often find that it isn’t until I am somewhere outside of my regular routine, detached from the daily structure and demands of life, that my inspiration returns and words flow on the page like the competition-sized waves here. It is my first time here on the Basques coast of France, the South western part of the country, where lengthy stretches of beach meet delicious traditional food and the vibe is friendly during the off season.
